5 Reasons to Drink Tea On A Fast Day

We’ve taken a deep dive into the science behind this popular potion to reveal why you should have an extra cuppa, especially on fast days.

We know that a good cuppa can recharge your energy, relax you and help you get through a long day. But it turns out there are actually loads of additional reasons why you should be brewing this brilliant beverage – especially on fast days. We’ve taken a deep dive into the science behind this ever-popular potion to reveal why you should be having a mug of magic medicine more often. Alright, nanna-blankets at the ready? Let’s go!

1. Appetite Suppression

Let’s face it, hanger is very real. And when it hits, it hits hard. Making it easy to let the sugar fiend/snack monster/cookie jar scavenger win. But instead of reaching for a snack to sate your cravings, opt for a good old fashioned cuppa instead, because tea can help to alleviate hunger pangs. The ‘catechins’ in green tea, especially, have been shown in studies to lower levels of the hunger hormone, ‘ghrelin’. Which means easier fast days for you! (And less hangries for your hubby/friends/workmates.)

3. Sustained Energy

Tea contains caffeine, but in smaller quantities than coffee – which means you still get the buzz, but without the jitters. Green tea in particular contains both caffeine and the amino acid L-theanine – the combination of which can increase focus, provide more stable,sustained energy and boost brain function and mood. Which means not only will you have more energy and be in a better frame-of-mind during your Monday fast day, but you’ll also be able to keep that get-up-and-go going for a lot longer.

The bottom line? Tea and fasting are a match made in heaven. So, drink up!
